o christ god my savior, who has healed my pain through your pain and has cured my wounds through your wounds, i come before you today knowing that all power is in your hand. i know that you are the almighty lord god and that you love and care for your people. you are all knowing and you know every tear ever we shed. right now, michael is struggling with a difficult trial. i can see his strength is faltering, lord; i do as you've commanded through the apostle paul: i weep with those who weep, and know that you have all of the strength that he needs..
for i know you are not a distant god, i pray that you will reach down and touch him now wherever he is in this moment. let your presence fill the room where he is and let him feel an extra portion of your strength that can help him to get through this day. he needs you, lord, and i thank you in advance for meeting him where he is and shoring up his strength. i pray that this season of suffering will not weaken his faith but strengthen it. i pray he will come to know you in a deeper, more intimate way. i pray he will be strengthened by his union with you. please meet him in this suffering with all that he needs. carry and sustain him.
we are bound together through the blood of your son, christ jesus. i pray in and through his name
amen
